VEX Education is dedicated to providing engaging and fun student experiences that enable individuals to reach their full potential while they develop the knowledge and skills vital to success in the 21st Century. Given today’s global challenges compared to the rest of recorded history, there has never been an age with a greater need for new scientists, engineers and problem solving leaders. Recent breakthroughs in chemistry, medicine and physics have revealed a new set of challenges and created even greater opportunity for problem solving through technology.
At Manassas Park Middle School, we have three teams of up to seven students available. Manassas Park, along with Manassas City, Manassas Christian, and Prince William County will compete for a chance to go to the World Tournament held each spring. A regional competition will be held in early February, and if we qualify, Prince William County’s Roboticon will be held in early March.
Students will meet twice a week and learn how to use their creative skills to engineer and program robots to complete various tasks. By completing these activities, students will learn a variety of skills that focus on the STEM content areas.
